Chapter 389.2: Meeting

Chapter 389.2: Meeting

It should be impossible. Although she certainly looks like an ordinary girl, her overall rating is known. They should have done every preparation necessary to check her abilities. The plan was to lock her up in a room, and when she regained consciousness, release a combat beast generated by Code――A Creation Beast inside to confirm her abilities.

“Continue.” (Angus)

“Yes. We unleashed the Creation Beasts one by one but she broke through all of them. As well as all the beasts we had prepared in order to kill her, we then unleashed the mechanized soldiers to suppress her――But they were also destroyed.” (Jin)

Creation Beasts are a new breed of beasts developed using Code’s technology. Although they are not as easy to use as the mechanized soldiers, they are a reliable weapon in terms of combat ability. Her abilities exceeded those expected when all of the Creation Beasts they had prepared for testing were killed. After all, the opponent is only one child.

“How many mechanized soldiers did you send out?” (Angus)

“We sent out 50.” (Jin)

Mechanized soldiers are one of the main fighting forces that can be manufactured in Code. However, they cannot be mass-produced, mainly due to material issues.

“50...... Were all of them destroyed? What about the damage she received?” (Angus)

“...... She was unharmed.” (Jin)

I can’t believe it. If that is true, then Saaya is stronger than Kai.

Even though she hadn’t inhaled the incapacitating gas, taking down 50 mechanized soldiers without a scratch――Was not normal.

Moreover, we are in Code, no kind of Magic can be used here.

Jin continues his report in a matter-of-fact manner.

“Afterwards――Saaya broke through 5 layers of bulkhead and moved outside the room. After determining that it was pointless to send in any more mechanized soldiers, we were forced to use all the incapacitating gas on the entire building, successfully suppressing the insurrection. End of the report.” (Jin)

“............ That’s one hell of a story.” (Angus)

I breathe a sigh of relief at the report.

Gas is her weakness, huh? Still, the loss we suffer is far too great for just one person. Resources are not infinite, and in particular, there is a limit to the items that the city factories can produce.

Maybe it was a mistake to try and check her abilities. But it is far better than letting Saaya slip away while trying to conserve resources.

Although the sun is shining brightly in the sky, the city of Code is strangely cool and comfortable. There are not many people walking in the streets, maybe because most people are using vehicles. Apparently Code allows you to use the spider freely from Class 1 and onwards. I am sure if I summon it and ask it to take me to the prison it will take me there.

The Prison. Apparently, there is only one prison in Code. It seems that criminals who break Code’s laws are held there. According Code’s laws, it seems like one of the sentences for criminals is to work for a citizen of Code. Apparently they are treated almost like slaves, but it is a last resort when there is a shortage of people.

What kinds of criminals can they be even though Code allows hardcore bandits like Biker to *gorogoro* walk around in public proudly......

Olivia-san said that the quickest way to replace them would be to take people from the prison, but I would like to avoid that if possible. That said, I don’t know anyone in Code, but I do have one idea.

It is the client. I will have the person who sent this request to the Explorer Association introduce me to some people after I meet up with them. The client seems to be someone of fairly high rank, so I am sure they will be able to provide appropriate Royal Guards for the mission.

Since I will be the Leader of the Royal Guard by the time we meet up, I might be pretty lucky this time. All that is left now is to kill time until we meet up. I managed to survive! I cannot wait to see Kaiser and Saya agaiiin.

Then, as I am thinking about this, I suddenly realize something and stop in my tracks.

I don’t remember............ The meeting place.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

............ This is problematiiic. If you let me make an excuse――The address that was given to me was complicated.

I would have found them right away if we had arranged to meet in front of the gate, but the address was specified by street address and was ridiculously long――.

I didn’t even take notes so as not to look suspicious when my belongings were checked. I also felt relieved because Saya and Kaiser memorized it in an instant. I tried to dig up my memories, but not only could I not remember anything, I didn’t even feel like I could remember anything. It is pretty doubtful that I can even instantaneously remember something in the first place. The downsides of always relying on others are starting to show.

This means...... I guess I will have to give up on meeting up.

............ W-Well, I told Kaiser and Saya to act accordingly. They will be fine even without me. Both of them should be employed by someone, so there is no need to rush as I am sure we will be able to meet up eventually. Until then, I will do what I can.

I *kyorokyoro* look around restlessly and spot a figure peering at me from between the buildings. The figure has a wary look in their eyes――They must be the lower-class citizen Olivia-san has mentioned.

............ If I were to appoint the Royal Guard, they should be better than criminals. Anyway, I think I should go and talk to them.

Thanks for reading! Poor Angus, being delusional thinking that being the King of Code is being King of the world He doesn’t know yet but he is already dancing in Cry’s hand
